i went to fry's yesterday and they had it on display along with the acer aspire one and the hp netbook. it was nice to see it alongside other netbooks and it really looks cool and super light and portable.

although i was comfortable using the device at the high resolution i began to wonder how long i can stand using the device at that resolution. after using it for a bit i looked at the aspire one and my eyes were so happy with 1024x600.

The main difference (when talking about the performance) is actually the GPU; you all know that Atom N*** has a bad, old GPU, but with Atom Z*** this gets even worst!(well, this is because Atom Z*** is meant for MIDs)

Not a bad little machine. I think the screen is awesome, perhaps a bit overkill as you said. Glad to hear that the quality is there, but then it should considering you are buying Sony and paying out quite a bit for it.

I think the biggest hit is that Vista is just a bit too resource intensive for that machine. Is it 1GB or 2GB of RAM? If it's only 1GB, that would be the first upgrade. What about the HDD? SSD or conventional and what are the write speeds?

The Everun Note is more powerful and more compact, BUT it also: runs hotter, has a lower resolution screen and can't be touch typed on.There is no "ideal" computer out there yet, but the P has the best keyboard and screen resolution for a machine in its size/hardware class right now. Think Fujitsu U810/U820 and the Everun Note. I compared them all and went with the P as it fit my needs best.

Great video, I was only able to catch part of the live demo. I wish I could have watched more. Hope to see more demos and your overall opinion on the 1.86Ghz Vaio P90. I'm really hoping to order this from Conics but not sure if the extra .6Ghz over the standard US version makes a difference in the end.

Yes, please let us know how XP performs and whether any additional drivers are required etc.

I have no interest in joining the Windows 7 bandwagon, as I'm a recent Mac convert. But when it comes to mobile computing, I need XP for some legacy software and abandonware that is highly unlikely to be supported by W7.

Also, let us know if WWAN can be unlocked without having to replace the hardware.

Haha, I see you already have the Vaio P in pieces (and soon back together again of course) judging by the newest video on your youtube channel. While this device isn't my cup of tea, it'll be interesting what you can do with it...

I was astonished how light this thing is, when I first lifted it up. I also liked the display very much. I guess, you have to get used to the resolutions first because it's so small.Anyway, have fun with the Vaio P! :)
